GBoR does not run with Vista?

Post by Centurion1976 »

Hi,

GBoR was just released in the Netherlands. I have a brand new computer with windows Vista Home premium, CPU 2 6320 @1.86Ghz, 2GB Ram, Nvidia Geforce 7650 GS.

I have downloaded the latest driver for my graphics card. I can only watch the intromovie and then the game crashes and it says THCGBOR.EXE does not work anymore. I read the readme file but it does not mention this problem clearly. What can I do?

Best regards,

Joe

Sorry you are having problems. It has been tested under Vista so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Can you tell us the exact error you receive and post your full system specs.

Well because the .exe file caused the problem I fixed it by reinstalling the game. Now it works and I played the tutorial. Game works great so far! Thanks anyway!

Hello iainmcneil,

I have to rectify this post. Perhaps helpful for other gamers who encounter the same problem. A few days later I had the same problem even after reinstalling. Then I noticed when I disabled my anti-spyware program (Spyware Doctor) the mainmenu appeared. So it is either because of this or the allocated memory the game does not run. I have tested this and fifteen or more battles later I can still play. I love this game by the way! VENI VIDI VICI
